NSIDC DAAC Releases Version 6 MODIS Sea Ice Data

The MODIS Version 6 sea ice extent and ice surface temperature algorithms and products are the same as Version 5; however, Version 6 updates to algorithm inputs—in particular, the L1B calibrated radiances, land and water mask, and cloud mask products—have improved the sea ice outputs. For information about forward and reprocessing schedules, see MODIS | V6 Sea Ice Reprocessing.
